Are 4K Monitors Worth It?

Shopping for a new monitor since my current one is 768p and I was wondering if it'd be worth trying 4K instead of going for 1080p like I usually do.
I have a high end GPU and don't really play video games anyway so the performance impact is irrelevant, I'll mainly be using it for web browsing.

Not interested in 1440p because I want perfect integer scaling for 1080p content.

Also I'd go into details but like you know you said browsing or what not I think
All that matters is that it's OLED because otherwise you're either going for gaming only or looks only OLED is what makes the change for most pipo

1080p feels good enough

I dunno about OLED for desktop tbh, I'd be paranoid about things like the taskbar burning in.

Yeah I've never had anything above 1080p before and I've never felt 1080p wasn't enough either which is why I'm asking this

Just keep in mind that its pixel density that matters. A 4k tv looks terrible, meanwhile a 4k monitor looks great

I'd say like if you're not on pi si for 24 hours a day or accidently leave your pi si on burning in shouldn't be a problem also I'm 100% sure you'll notice a difference between 1080 and fucking 4k geg

More content is 720p than it is 1080p even today

The only people complaining about this are people running their monitors over 50% brightness

A lot of things might not scale or play nice with 1080p

Well aware, my laptop has a 13in 1080p display and it looks very nice. The reason I'm considering 4K would be so I could get a bigger monitor for more screen real estate without lowering the pixel density

just focus on Hz rather than quality
Video media is usually only up to 60 fps and spending extra just so soybooru scrolls smoother is not that great of an idea
